Adelaide, Australia — The Adelaide Strikers are turning up the heat this summer, announcing that iconic Australian rock band Birds of Tokyo will headline the New Year’s Eve celebrations at Adelaide Oval, following their BBL blockbuster against the Brisbane Heat.
Tickets are now on sale for all Strikers home matches this season, including the much-anticipated New Year’s Eve clash on December 31. Fans will enjoy a full evening of top-tier cricket and post-match entertainment in what promises to be South Australia’s biggest party of the year.
Birds of Tokyo to light up Adelaide Oval after BBL showdown
After the on-field action, fans will be treated to a high-energy light and sound show as Birds of Tokyo take to the stage to perform their greatest hits, including chart-toppers like “Plans”, “Lanterns”, and “Silhouettic.”
The music will keep going at the New Year’s Eve Post-Match Bash, returning to the Lindsay Head Terrace on Level 5 of the Riverbank Stand. This exclusive party offers the best views of Adelaide’s NYE fireworks alongside live entertainment, light refreshments, and bar facilities.
Band and club ready to deliver unforgettable night
Ian Kenny, lead singer of Birds of Tokyo, expressed excitement for what’s become one of Australia’s most iconic cricket events:
“We can’t wait to tear it up in Adelaide for the Big Bash NYE Smash! What better way to kick off the New Year than with a massive night of cricket, live music, and fireworks lighting up Adelaide Oval? Bring your mates, bring the family – let’s send 2025 out with a bang!”
Sam Elliott, General Manager – Commercial for the Adelaide Strikers, emphasized the club’s goal of creating a memorable fan experience:
“We are thrilled to have Birds of Tokyo join us for what has become a staple of the Summer BBL fixture. Their music is the perfect soundtrack for a New Year’s Eve celebration, and we can’t wait to share that incredible atmosphere with a packed Adelaide Oval.”
